Description

The media renderer without interrupt playback of content is provided
Technical field
Present invention relates in general to the media renderer field, and more specifically, relate to the field without interrupt playback that the content of just being reproduced by media renderer is provided in home network.
Background technology
Patent application US2008/0235620 discloses a kind ofly has reconstructor and to the control appliance of the system in a plurality of sources of reconstructor supplying content for control.This control appliance is controlled at while detecting with the mutual so that checking switching of the authentication of users of user interface system is switched to the second activity from the first activity.This may cause the interruption of the current playback of carrying out in reconstructor place.
As an example scenario, the reconstructor equipment such as TV can reproduce the audio/video content from internet source or USB source or DLNA media server.Controller equiment can interrupt the playback of TV, with request, plays the content from other guide source (for example, from Blu-ray Disc player or from the personal computer existed in home network (PC)).This may force TV to stop the playback of current content and be switched to the content source (for example, from Blu-ray Disc player or from the PC existed in home network) of controller equiment indication.This may cause the interruption of the current playback of carrying out in TV place.When family's network has a plurality of controller of controlling TV, this problem may be serious many.
Summary of the invention
Correspondingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a kind of method for the content just reproduced by media renderer without interruptedly playback at home network.The present invention is limited by independent claims.Dependent claims defines favourable embodiment.
This purpose of this theme is by providing a kind of method for the content just reproduced by media renderer without interruptedly playback at home network to realize, this media renderer is configured to reproduce the content that can obtain from a plurality of content source, this home network has a plurality of controller equiments of controlling media renderer, and the method comprises:
-media renderer is remained in home network, and check that whether this media renderer is just at reproducing content, if so,
-check whether this media renderer is wanted without interruptedly continuing its current content playback carried out, if so,
-be configured to notify described a plurality of controller equiment not subscribe to and call the reproduction service request media renderer, thus postpone reproducing the processing of service request.
Media renderer in home network is supported the playback from a plurality of content source usually.Content source can be but be not limited to: i) USB source; Ii) internet source; Iii) tuner; Iv) HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) (HDMI) source; And v) DLNA (DLNA) source.
DLNA/UPnP has such mechanism, and wherein controller equiment can transmit via audio frequency and video the request that (AVT) service pushes its request broadcasting DLNA server content.In addition, can control described playback via AVT and reproducing control service (RCS).This may interrupt the current playback of carrying out.This may mean that media renderer must stop the playback of content in the source of current selection, and is switched to the content source of controller equiment indication.When at family's network internal storage during at a plurality of controller equiment, this problem may be serious many.
The use-case scene of interrupting about playback may be, the user is by the television-viewing grave news, and controller equiment (for example child's controller equiment) interrupts this playback (doing like this even child may be naughty ground).
Another use-case scene may be that user A is watching the content on media renderer.The controller equiment of user B is attempted remotely to control this media renderer and is interrupted it to carry out the record of program.If the controller equiment of user C is also attempted remotely to control this media renderer and is interrupted its to carry out record of program, problem may be serious many.
Another use-case scene may be that audio reproducing system is play content in room A just.Controller equiment in room B attempts to control the volume of the audio reproducing system in room A.This may be because the user in room B may need larger volume.User in room A may not like it is changed into to higher audio volume level.
Another use-case scene may be that audio reproducing system is via 2 loud speakers (being placed in the loud speaker 1 and the loud speaker 2 that is placed in room B of room A) play content.Controller equiment in controller equiment in room A and room B attempts to control the playback of described content simultaneously, and this may not be desirable.
The interruption of the current playback of carrying out that in brief, may exist the user not like.Therefore, when media renderer wants nothing interruptedly to continue its current playback of carrying out, need media renderer request controller equipment not push its request.
For media renderer, impossible is to allow only some controller equiment to send the reproduction service request, thus the priority/rank in support controller equipment.
In addition, due to media renderer must be constantly to all controller equiments notice i in home network) event; Ii) accept subscribe request and renewal request, thereby have the waste of network traffics.This may be equivalent to the waste (for example, from the subscription of single controller and the frequency of renewal, being approximately 15 seconds) of processing power conversely.
Disclosed method makes media renderer to call before reproducing service request and notify all or some controller equiments to never call any reproduction service request at any controller equiment.In addition, the disclosed method processing of reproduction service request on the media renderer in home network provisionally.This allows without the playback of interruptedly proceeding.Media renderer is maintained in home network, and is identified as media renderer.Media renderer is remained in home network and has the following advantages:
1. all controller equiments in home network will know that media renderer is present in home network.Therefore, there do not is the expense that is rediscovered media renderer by controller equiment.
2. the configurability of different stage is provided for controller equiment.
In an embodiment, media renderer is forbidden the reproduction service request be associated with the A/V playback controls of UPnP audio/video transmission (AVT) service provisionally.This embodiment allows configurability.Configurability can be with regard to the difference the service of reproduction is provided in home network is forbidden rank.This can allow to forbid the A/V playback controls of UPnP AVT service, but can allow to enable the UPnP reproducing control, serves the volume of (RCS)/quiet control.
In addition, media renderer can be forbidden the reproduction service request that the setting of the new URL interior with the AVT service is associated provisionally.This can allow other configurability.This can allow to enable broadcasting in the AVT service/suspend/stop, but may forbid the setting of the new URL in the AVT service.
In addition, media renderer can be forbidden the reproduction service request be associated with this reproduction provisionally in the ongoing while of the reproduction of the content from the predetermined content source.This provides other configurability (for example, can when watch internet content, execute and forbid, and it can be activated when watching the USB content).
In another embodiment, media renderer is forbidden the reproduction service request by the specific controller equipment calls provisionally, thereby allows priorization.This embodiment allows to the specific controller equipment reproduction service in home network, thus across different controller equiments to the media renderer priorization.Media renderer can be forbidden at least one in following equipment reproduction service request of calling provisionally:
-the controller equiment that used by child
-the controller equiment that used by the guest
-the controller equiment that used by the spouse.
This can allow further configurability.The controller equiment that child uses can not be allowed to interrupt the current playback of carrying out, and spouse's controller equiment can be allowed to control the current playback of carrying out.In addition, guest controller equipment can not be allowed to interrupt the current playback of carrying out.
In another embodiment, media renderer can check whether processed the reproduction service request of being called by the first controller equiment, and if be, the processing of the reproduction service request that priorization the first controller equiment and forbidding is provisionally called by the controller equiment that is different from the first controller equiment.This embodiment provides the other configurability of configuration and priorization controller equiment.
In another embodiment, media renderer use case mechanism and the processing of notifying one or more controller equiments to reproduce service requests are forbidden temporarily.This embodiment can cause not allowing controller equiment to subscribe to the event (for example, while postponing in the compulsory execution time) be associated with the specific reproduction service.This can save home network flow and processing power.
In another embodiment, each controller equiment is sent to media renderer by unique identification information, thereby promotes interim reproduction service on corresponding controllers equipment.
In another embodiment, media renderer is powered on and enables the reproduction service of temporarily forbidding.Power connection/shutoff does not need to mean the ON/OFF of media renderer.ON/OFF can be only for the reconstructor parts of media renderer, and these parts are a software.For example, the ON/OFF of media renderer can be only the opening/closing of the executable file of the upper operation of PC.This embodiment can allow other configurability.The user can have the setting of automatically enabling the service of reproduction when the playback for certain content finishes.In addition, can on media renderer, to the user, present user interface and check the controller equiment list in home network in order to see.Can permit a user to each controller equiment and choose/cancel forbidding of the service of reproduction.
In another purpose of this theme, disclose a kind of for the logical block without interrupt playback of the content of just being reproduced by media renderer is provided at home network.This media renderer is configured to reproduce the content that can obtain from a plurality of sources.This logical block comprises:
-holding unit, it is for media renderer is remained in home network, and checks that whether this media renderer is just at reproducing content;
-inspection unit, it is for checking whether media renderer is wanted without interruptedly continuing its current reproduction of carrying out; And
-dispensing unit, it is for media renderer being configured to notify described a plurality of controller equiment do not subscribe to and call the reproduction service request, thus the processing of postponing reproducing service request.

Aspects, features and advantages above-mentioned will be only mode by example with reference to accompanying drawing, be further described, in the accompanying drawings, identical Reference numeral means same or similar part, and in the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 shows the exemplary configuration according to the home network of this theme embodiment;
The exemplary process diagram without the method for interrupt playback that provides illustrated according to this theme embodiment is be provided Fig. 2; And
Fig. 3 schematically show according to this theme embodiment for the unit of the example logic without interrupt playback of content is provided.
Embodiment
Referring now to Fig. 1, home network 100 is the house local area network (LAN).It is generally used for typically disposing the communication between digital device in the family.The critical function of home network 100 is sharing of Intranet access.It can be the functional additive technique home server increased.Home network 100 can be used wired or wireless technology.
Home network 100 comprises the TV 102a as media renderer.TV 102a is configured to provide the service of reproduction and supports the playback from the different content source.
Content source can be
I) the USB source 104
Ii) internet source 106
Iii) the tuner source 108
Iv) the HDMI source 110
V) the DLNA source 112.
A plurality of controller equiment 140a, 140b, 140c ... 140n is configured to control TV 102a.
The UPnP(http limited by the standard network framework agreement: //upnp.org/sdcps-and-certification/standards) be one of main standard technology of home network.Domestic network system based on UPnP comprises a plurality of UPnP equipment for service is provided and for controlling the control point of described a plurality of UPnP equipment.UPnP equipment is notified its event to control point.
For the domestic network system of controlling the audio/video devices based on UPnP comprise media server for media content is provided by home network, for media renderer that the media content provided by home network is provided and for controlling the control point of media server and media renderer.
Control point obtains the state information of media server and media renderer by event.For example, when media server and media renderer provide audio/video transmission service and reproducing control service, if media server and media renderer are put into the variable condition variable in " finally changing " state variable table, the variable condition variable is transferred into control point after the scheduled time.Thus, the current state of the described equipment in notice control point.
Media server is notified the information about media content in each UPnP action to control point.In addition, media server is sent to media renderer by corresponding media content in order to play media content by stream.Media renderer is play media content.The stream method can be selected from various known methods.
UPnP/DLNA has such mechanism, and wherein controller equiment 140a can push the request that the DLNA server content is play in its request via the AVT service.In addition, can control described playback via AVT and reproducing control service (RCS).This may interrupt the current playback of carrying out of just being play by TV 102a.This may mean that TV 102a must stop the playback of the content in the source of current selection (for example internet source 106), and is switched to the content source of controller equiment 140a indication.When at home network 100, interior to have a plurality of controller equiments (be 140b, 140c ... in the time of 140n), this problem may be serious many.
The use-case scene of interrupting about playback can be that the user watches grave news by TV 102a.Content source is tuner 108.Controller equiment 140c(is child's controller for example) interrupt this playback (doing like this even child may be naughty ground).
Another use-case scene may be that user A is watching the content on TV 102a.The controller equiment of user B (for example 140d) is attempted remotely to control TV and interrupt watching of described content.For example, if the controller equiment of user C (140e) is also attempted remotely to control TV and is interrupted watching of described content, problem may be serious many.
The interruption of the current playback of carrying out that exists the user can not like.Therefore, when TV, want when interruptedly continuing its current playback of carrying out, need TV 102a request controller equipment 140a, 140b, 140c ... 140n does not push its request.
For TV, impossible is to allow only some controller equiment to send the reproduction service request, thus the priority/rank in support controller equipment.
In addition, due to TV must be constantly to all controller equiment 140a in home network 100,140b, 140c, 140d, 140e ... 140n notifies i) event; Ii) accept subscribe request and renewal request, thereby have the waste of network traffics.This may cause the waste (for example, from the subscription of single controller and the frequency of renewal, being approximately 15 seconds) of processing power conversely.
Referring now to Fig. 2, disclosed method thought behind is that the reproduction service request that will be processed by media renderer is not subscribed to and called to notification controller equipment.This allows without the playback of interruptedly proceeding.In addition, media renderer is maintained in home network and is identified as media renderer.
The method comprising the steps of 202: TV 102a is remained in home network 100, and check that whether TV 102a is just at reproducing content.
In the situation that, just at reproducing content, carrying out in step 204, TV 102a checks to determine whether this media renderer is wanted without interruptedly continuing its current content playback carried out.
Then, in step 206, TV 102a is configured to notification controller equipment 140a, 140b ... 140n does not subscribe to and calls the reproduction service request that will be processed by media renderer, thus the processing of postponing reproducing service request.This allow TV 102a provide content without interrupt playback.
A kind ofly realize that the mode of disclosed method can be as follows:
The last event that is sent to controller equiment (for example 140a) by TV 102a can have the additivity variable that is called every service postponement state information.Once this variable is set up, controller equiment (for example 140a) will know that this service is no longer available.After this, controller equiment (for example 140a) can postpone stopping obtaining any last event in the period, and controller equiment (for example 140a) also can stop subscribing to described service.For example, once this service, no longer in the postponement state, can be removed this variable so, and can again last event be sent to controller equiment (140a).Also possible that, controller equiment (for example 140a) is inquired about every service postponement state.
Also possible that, reproduction is served interior specific action in order to provide without the playback of interrupting provisionally.This may mean the postponement state information that can have every each action of service.This information can for example, be inquired about by controller equiment (140a).TV 102a can for example, via last change events notification controller equipment (140a).
Possible is the processing of saving power, network traffics and event.TV 102a is the postponement notification controller equipment 140a of service just, and the postponement of described service does not allow controller equiment 140a to subscribe to the event for special services in the time of may causing postponing being forced to carry out in the time.TV 102a for example every 15 minutes (this is also not serious on network) continues to send notice to controller equiment 140a, makes TV 102a still be listed in media renderer in controller equiment 140a.Simultaneously, TV 102a can leave alone to the controller equiment 140b, the 140c that have postponed service for it ... 140n sends any event/renewal.This mechanism allow saving network flow and thereby TV 102a on power.Because the quantity of event may reduce, this also can cause the power on controller equiment 140a to be saved.
In one embodiment, TV 102a can forbid the reproduction service request be associated with the A/V playback controls of UPnP AVT service provisionally.This allows configurability.This can allow to provide the difference of the service of reproduction to forbid rank in home network.This can allow to forbid the A/V playback controls of UPnP AVT service, but can allow to enable the volume of UPnP reproducing control service/quiet control.
TV 102a can forbid the reproduction service request be associated with the setting of new URL in AVT provisionally.This can enable broadcasting in AVT service/suspend/stop, but can forbid the setting of the new URL in the AVT service.
TV 102a can forbid the reproduction service request be associated with this reproduction provisionally in the ongoing while of the reproduction of the content from the predetermined content source.This can provide other configurability (for example, can when watch internet content, execute and forbid, and it can be activated when watching the USB content).
In another embodiment, TV 102a can forbid the reproduction service request by the specific controller equipment calls provisionally, thereby allows priorization.This can allow to the service of the specific controller equipment reproduction in home network, thus across different controller equiments to the media renderer priorization.
Option can be introduce catch for controller equiment available/allow the state variable of action lists.Possible is to forbid provisionally service/action in order to provide without the playback of interrupting to specific controller equipment.TV 102a can be in inner sustain it want to process (or response) controller equiment 140a, 140b ... 140n list, service list and action lists.This can allow specific action and service to allow to controller equiment priorization service by (no), and also allows to different controller equiment priorizations.
TV 102a can forbid at least one in following equipment reproduction service request of calling provisionally:
-the controller equiment that used by child
-the controller equiment that used by the guest
-the controller equiment that used by the spouse.
This allows further configurability.The controller equiment that child uses can not be allowed to interrupt the current playback of carrying out, and spouse's controller equiment can be allowed to control the current playback of carrying out.In addition, guest controller equipment can not be allowed to interrupt the current playback of carrying out.
In another embodiment, TV 102a checks whether processed the reproduction service request of for example, being called by the first controller equiment (140a), and if be, priorization the first controller equiment (for example 140a) and forbid provisionally by the controller equiment that is different from the first controller equiment (for example 140b, 140c, 140d ... the processing of the reproduction service request of 140n) calling.This provide configuration and priorization controller equiment 140a, 140b, 140c ... the other configurability of 140n.
In another embodiment, TV 102a can use case mechanism and the processing of notifying one or more controller equiment 140a, 140b to reproduce service request forbidden temporarily.This can cause not allowing controller equiment to subscribe to the event (for example, while postponing in the compulsory execution time) be associated with the specific reproduction service.This can save the home network flow, thereby saves processing power.
Determine to forbid machine-processed triggering and the duration of serving for reproduction for TV 102a for the playback of carrying out, can have various possibilities.Some in described possibility can be (but being not limited to)
1. the user can have soft key/button on the screen for serving for all the elements source reproduction that comprises default screen in playback screen on TV 102a.This soft key/button can be served as wheel and be turned button in order to reactivate the service of reproduction
2. general remote controller can have button or the soft key of forbidding/enable the service of reproducing in its user interface
3. controller equiment 140a, 140b, 140c ... also can in its user interface, there is button or the soft key of forbidding/enable the service of reproducing.Possible, when TV is forbidden serving for specific controller equipment, the not action about forbidding/enabling of such button, or soft key can be grayed and is made uncontrollable
4. the user can have the default setting for the duration of its possibility reproduction service
In the situation that current playback program and EPG information interrelate, once, so according to EPG ED program, just can automatically finish described forbidding.In the situation that the user can interrelate it and current tuning default EPG information so at the forbidden channel/default of changing of the service of reproducing simultaneously
6. in the situation that do not exist for current tuning channel/default EPG information, the duration can be instructed by default setting so
7. the user also can have the setting of automatically enabling the service of reproduction when the playback that completes certain content.
In another embodiment, each controller equiment 140a, 140b, 140c ... 140n can be sent to unique identification information TV 102a, thereby promotes to forbid described reproduction service on corresponding controller equiment temporarily.
Possible is to identify uniquely controller equiment in home network.Can be in every way in conjunction with this unique identification information.An option can be that controller equiment is configured to, when sending any UPnP audio/video transmission or reproducing control service action, unique identification information is passed to TV.Some other options of realizing this point can be:
1. unique identification information can be the part of the existing HTTP user agent field in the HTTP request
2. unique identification information can be the interior part for the new argument title in the argument list of everything of Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) big envelope body
3. unique identification information can be the part of the new argument in the denomination of dive label in Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) big envelope body.
The unique identification information be associated with controller equiment then can be by the one or more data formations that are associated with controller equiment, described data
1. MAC Address (preferred, because it is unique for each controller equiment in home network)
2. application name (being only preferred in the time may having a plurality of controller application program run on same controller equiment) and Application Instance id(are in the situation that may exist the Multi-instance that runs on the same controller application program on same controller equiment just to be required)
3. device type/classification (preferred, because it can provide the more information about controller equiment to TV)
4. friendly name (preferred, because the more user-friendly mode of its to be TV remember controller equiment)
5. IP address (not preferred, because it may change in home network).
In another embodiment, TV 102a is powered on and can enable the reproduction service of temporarily forbidding.Power connection/shutoff does not need to mean the ON/OFF of media renderer.ON/OFF can be only for the reconstructor parts of media renderer, and these parts are software.For example, the ON/OFF of media renderer can be only the opening/closing of the executable file of the upper operation of PC.This allows other configurability.The user also can have the setting of automatically enabling the service of reproduction when the playback for certain content finishes.In addition, can be on TV 102a to the user present user interface in case watch controller equiment 140a, 140b in home network, 140c ... the 140n list.Can permit a user to each controller equiment and choose/cancel forbidding of the service of reproduction.
Referring now to Fig. 3, disclose a kind of for the logical block without interrupt playback 302 of the content of just being reproduced by media renderer 102a is provided at home network 100.This media renderer 102a is configured to reproduce the content that can obtain from a plurality of sources 104,106,108,110,112.This logical block 302 comprises:
-holding unit 302a, it is for media renderer 102a is remained in home network, and checks that whether this media renderer is just at reproducing content;
-inspection unit 302b, it is for checking whether media renderer is wanted without interruptedly continuing its current content playback carried out; And
-dispensing unit 302c, it is for media renderer being configured to notify described a plurality of controller equiment do not subscribe to and call the reproduction service request, thus the processing of postponing reproducing service request.
Logical block 302 can be included in media renderer 102a itself, rather than as the part of home network 100.
Generally speaking, a kind of method without interrupt playback that the content of just being reproduced by media renderer is provided in home network is disclosed.The method comprises: media renderer is remained in home network, and check that whether this media renderer is just at reproducing content, if, check whether this media renderer is wanted without interruptedly continuing its current content playback carried out, and if be, media renderer is configured to notify described a plurality of controller equiment not subscribe to and call the reproduction service request, thereby postpones reproducing the processing of service request.
Disclosed theme is useful for the media renderer in home network.Media renderer can be the TV connected, photo frame, Set Top Box, mobile phone and the personal computer/laptop computer that star joins (streamium) equipment, connection.Disclosed theme is helpful for battery-operated media renderer.Network traffics can be lowered by avoiding processing event for different controller equiments/notice, this then can save power.Disclosed theme also can help controller equiment and reconstructor equipment to save processing power by avoid network traffics in the reproduction service.
Disclosed theme can extend to the other field such as illumination.As an example scenario, bulb can be regarded as to the light reconstructor.Four switches (S1, S2, S3 and S4) can be regarded as to bulb controller.The user can use a switch (S1) to connect bulb, and does not think that bulb passes through other residue switches (S2, S3 and S4) and turn-offed by other people.Therefore, the user can be arranged to bulb such pattern, wherein its notice residue switch (S2, S3 and S4) and disable switch S2, S3 and S4 control bulb.
In addition, described embodiment has described the equipment that UPnP/DLNA enables, but identical theory can extend to non-DLNA/UPnP scene, for example can serve as mobile phone, the apple controller based on Zhuo Yue (Bonjour) that the WiFi of general remote controller enables.
